The latest PLM Green post “A PLM Perspective on New ISO Standards for the Circular Economy” is from CIMPA PLM Services who shares a timely summary, with references, of emerging international standards that are guiding the transition to a more sustainable low-carbon circular economy.
The circular economy, which promotes sharing, reusing, refurbishing, remanufacturing, and recycling, lies at the core of global sustainable development initiatives. With the release of three pivotal ISO standards — ISO 59004, ISO 59020, and ISO 59010 — the way we approach the circular economy is undergoing a significant transformation.

In this article from Patrice Quencez, Director Consultant of CIMPA PLM Services and PLM Green Circular Economy (CE) contributor, discusses the deployment, completion, and reinforcement of PLM capabilities to meet sustainability stakes of complex systems with long lifecycles, such as those found in aviation and aerospace. Patrice writes:
“Even if today more and more companies are integrating sustainability in their strategy, some business sectors already run practices and capabilities which can be extrapolated, adapted for circular economy (see article PLM for CE). These sectors deal with large complex systems with long cycle as examples: Nuclear Plants, Transportation systems, Buildings and Civil Work Infrastructures, Aircraft, Naval ships, submarines…”

“The complexity, the size of these systems, the duration and the costs of their development encourage their exploitation the longest time possible with maintenance, improvement, adaptation of their performances. Numerous of these products have also sensitive impacts (or risks) on the environment and people health (ex.: aeronautic, nuclear, building, Spatial vehicles…)”

The PLM Green Global Alliance (PGGA) is excited to announce that Patrice Quencez, Director Consultant and Deputy Director of CIMPA PLM Services, has volunteered to lead our coverage of the role of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) strategies, technologies, and solutions in creating a new global Circular Economy.
The concept of the Circular Economy (CE) is straight forward enough: to keep products and their component materials in use for a longer time before they are discarded with the value lost forever. However, the process of creating an inherently more sustainable decarbonized circular economy from the current carbon-intensive linear economy is not as simple.

PLM & Sustainability with Circular Economy: How PLM sustains Sustainability & Circular Economy
This article published as a LinkedIn Newsletter by PLM Green Circular Economy moderator Patrice Quencez from CIMPA PLM Services introduces a reading grid using a systemic approach to scope PLM levers to tackle Sustainability-Circular Economy and frame concrete actions forward.
In the article, Patrice discusses:
- The different systems, players involved in the sustainability.
- The areas of the PLM contributions through development / operations value chains and their digital enablers.
- The positions, roles of Circular Economy within these value chains and again which PLM levers are specifically addressed.
Learn why PLM digital platforms are the key enablers to develop sustainability thru a Circular Economy by reading the complete article here.
